    <p>Enter the email template information into the blank text fields provided.</p>

<li>The <strong>Subject</strong> will be the subject line of the email message received by end users.</li>

<li>You may also provide an <strong>HTML Text</strong> version of the message if desired. This allows you to include additional formatting for the body of the message.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save Changes</strong> when complete.</li>
